Accounting and legal fees

You can deduct any legal fees you paid in the year to collect or establish a right to collect salary or wages.

You can also deduct legal fees you paid in the year to collect or establish a right to collect other amounts that must be reported in employment income even if they are not directly paid by your employer. However, you must reduce your claim by any amount awarded to you for those fees or any reimbursement you received for your legal expenses.
